At Schenectady County SPCA, our mission is to investigate complaints of animal cruelty, as well as working with Police agencies within the county to educate the public regarding state animal cruelty laws. Detecting and reporting animal cruelty are the two most important steps in bringing animal cruelty to an end. But how do you really know what you are looking for? By using the “WATCH” checklist can help detect intentional and negligent abuse. Weight: Does the animal look thin? Age: Does the animal look emaciated? Temperature: Is the animal outside longer than a 2-hour period in less than 10 degrees F (longhaired) or 32 degrees F (shorthaired) in winter? Condition: Does the animal have water? Is the animal fed once a day? Is the collar too tight? Health: Is the animal sick, injured, lethargic, or distressed? Donate today to save animals who are suffering from neglect, abuse, and cruelty! Your generous support can give helpless animals a new life. If you would like to contribute to the SPCA, please click https://countyspca.com/donate/.
